Nathanson & Young - men as "Honorary Women"

|The "Honorary Women" Who're Part of Feminist Misandry: GAY men made into women as reward for not being 100% male?|

|.., **male characters are often eliminated through death or “surgery,” and inadequate ones converted through contact with female friends into honorary women. Token minority men, in particular, are often given that status as a way of showing that feminism opposes both sexism and racism.** The primary message is very clear: there is nothing about men as such that is good or even acceptable. Therefore, men should be tolerated only to the extent that they can either become women (through physical castration) or be like women (through intellectual or spiritual castration). **In short, the only good man is either a corpse or a woman.** After annihilating, or “deconstructing,” everything distinctive to men, whether physical or otherwise, what is left? Only whatever affirms women and honorary women. ***There is no room in this universe for men per se.***|

|In Spreading Misandry we classified male feminists as ***“honorary women,”*** because the price that they pay for becoming feminists — ideological feminists — is to deny the value of anything distinctive in men, including themselves. **They maintain their self-respect as individuals in spite of the fact that they are men, not because of it.**|

|Men become “male feminists” for various reasons. Some, no doubt, are truly altruistic. Others find it professionally useful to ally themselves with the academic avant-garde. **Still others find it psychologically useful to separate themselves from the negativity associated with maleness. In politically correct circles, gay men are almost always considered exceptions, honorary women, ... Facts notwithstanding, they are excused as an “equity-seeking group.”**|
